Yes. According to the POV video, the river/pond will still return in some capacity. But then again, the POV video doesn’t show Demon Snacks, but that pond feeds to Whizzer and XFlight etc. so I imagine it will be back

Found my pictures from Yukon Striker. It looks like a bin for shoes was built into the conveyor belt system.
I forgot who asked about footers and how they're bolted in, but the new picture posted to their Instagram gives a perfect view of what I was describing.
Edit: Just noticed the top of the drop is also on site. You can see it to the left.

Today the drop had a large section put in place. Four cranes on site, so they will probably try to finish topping off in the next few days. The drop is so steep, especially from Washington street!
Here is a video I shot this evening around 4:15 to 4:45. They are getting longer days of sunlight now, so they have more hours in a day to build.

I was the one asking about the bolts in the footers! Great photo!
Single Day Ride Count Record
50 rides 8/17/2018 (Without Flash Pass - Coasters After Dark)
I thought the last support would definitely be up by now since today has been very nice. Really wish there was an actual web cam so we wouldn’t have to look through a traffic camera from Grand Ave lol
Glad to see the top of the lift is almost completed. The rest of the track shouldn't be as hard to put up since it's lower. After all that's accomplished, the park will probably prioritize the gift shop, the queue, and landscaping. Hopefully they will have time to build the new/old Demon entrance before Opening Day. Time will tell.
On a side note, I'm hoping that the park can get a Wrath Nanocoaster available in the gift shop by Opening Day. Grabbing a Nanocoaster after riding would be the track on top of the supports if Operation: FRR goes according to plan.
